This is an odd one. Basically control style play but not as hard as it could be simply because the amount of life one could gain makes opponents strikes futile. I am interested to see how it plays, but so far I see a few potential turn five win conditions at over 50 life. For Example

Turn 1: land, Chaplains Blessing 25lifeTurn 2: land, Lone Rider 25lifeTurn 3: land, Lone Rider, Chaplains blessing 30life, flips both (keep in mind this is 8 first strike lifelink trample at turn 3)Turn 4: land, Aetherflux reservoir, swing both 38lifeTurn 5: land or not, Chaplains blessing and/or blessed alliance, swing both over 50. end game

Even without the reservoir, flipping lone riders is a power play, and later on fumigate and brisela are real possibilities. I have seen some other decks trying to make the most out of reservoir by casting free equipment artifacts but then your game is thrown without a reservoir and personally I think its a bit cheap even if it does work. This way you have a strong game whether or not you draw the artifact.
